Pacino To Take Over As Skipper For The Dodgers

News, Rumors

Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer, previously sharing the screen – and a bed – in the film version of Frankie & Johnny, look set to reunite for a flick based on the life story of Dodgers’ manager Tommy Lasorda.

Reportedly on the “fast track for development” at Miramax, so says Variety, the flick would see Pacino play the notably petulant Lasorda with Michelle Pfeiffer as his wife.

Lasorda is a former Major League baseball pitcher and manager. In 2008 he marked his 59th year in one capacity or another with the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers organization, the longest tenure anyone has had with the team.
